Fragrance It's important to understand your skin type when buying SPF. If you have sensitive skin, it's best to avoid fragranced SPFs, as they can irritate your skin’s barrier. SPF Numbers Opt for higher SPF products such as SPF 30-50. Lower SPF products, such as SPF 10-15, offer drastically less protection and can lead to skin damage. PA+ Rating PA+ rating is the standard of protection offered by the sunscreen against UVA rays. Ranging from low to extremely high levels, opt for PA+++ to ensure sufficient sun protection.
